One end of the Arts Centre photographed shortly after the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The gable of the building has crumbled and fallen to the ground, collapsing an awning. A large crack can be seen in the corner tower. Blue ties can be seen at the top of the tower, used to brace the structure after the 4 September 2010. This has probably limited the damage caused by the 22 February 2011 earthquake.
The Rolleston Avenue face of the Arts Centre. The building has been cordoned off with wire fencing and road cones. One of the spires has been removed from the building and is resting safely on the footpath. Above, a crane can be seen.
